the BLOG

Theatre Communication Group's new blog posted a review of the experience of watching a film on OntheBoards.tv. The reviewer chose THE SHIPMENT to view since it was a performance she "intended to see while it was running [at The Kitchen in NYC], and never actually did." Here's a little of what she had to say:

Box Office Associate Erin Jorgensen is performing tonight and tomorrow as part of the closing week of Theatre off Jackson's Solo Performance Festival 4. Here's what the Seattle Weekly had to say about her:

...to be a part of the 2010 Vivid LIVE festival. Curated by different artists each year, the Sydney Opera House's festival is a mix of contemporary music, theater and visual arts. Congrats to THE SHIPMENTcrew for being chosen to participate in this edition!

Mark your calendar, set an alarm or just leave KEXP on tomorrow until their In Studio at 3pm with Morgan Thorson, Low (Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker) and the performers from Heaven. Hear some of Low's material and get a sneakpeek at some of the material that you'll see/hear on our stages this weekend.

Just announced: Rabih Mroue - performing artist based in Beirut - has just won the Spalding Gray Award. What is this? The press release describes the award as "a special commission in Spalding’s honor that supports gifted writer/performers who fully realize both aspects of his legacy, who are fearless innovators of theatrical form." The NY Times also has this to say:

So I asked Eric Fredericksen, host of next week's Speak & Sing at On the Boards on St. Patrick's Day for any information he can divulge for what will happen or what we can do to prepare for his lecture.

In case you're interested in leading the crowd through an Irish standard or a drinking song at next week's karaoke event, we've put together a quick list so that you can get to practicing. Write down the songbook numbers (in parentheses) or watch the linked videos before Mar 17 to prepare!
